For centuries, the Baptist Catechism has served as a clear and faithful summary of biblical doctrine. Derived from the Westminster Shorter Catechism and adapted by Particular Baptists in the seventeenth century, it has helped generations of believers understand the foundations of the Christian faith.

In this substantial and accessible commentary, Jim Scott Orrick provides a practical guide through the catechism’s questions and answers. This is a modern commentary, which seeks to address and explain the doctrines within the Catechism. With pastoral insight and clear explanation, Orrick unfolds the doctrinal truths contained in each section and shows how they apply to the life of the believer today.

Drawing on decades of teaching and pastoral ministry, Orrick uses illustrations, careful explanation, and warm pastoral counsel to make the catechism understandable and useful for modern readers. The result is a commentary designed not primarily for scholars, but for churches, families, and individuals who want to grow in their understanding of Scripture.

Organised around the structure of the catechism itself: From what we are to believe about God, to the duties God requires of us, to the gospel and the means of grace — this volume serves as a rich resource for teaching and discipleship.

Ideal for family worship, Sunday school classes, church study groups, and pastoral training, this commentary helps believers of all ages explore the truths summarised in the Baptist Catechism and apply them with clarity and confidence.
